Riverside, Ca- The Riverside Police Department is releasing the names of Police Officers
involved in the recent shooting incidents in the City of Riverside.

On Sunday, October 8, 2006, Officers Nicholas VAZQUEZ
and Brett STENNETT were en route to a robbery call at the Home Depot when they encountered the
recently-wrecked suspect vehicle on Indiana Avenue near Jefferson. Officer David JOHANSEN also arrived
within one minute of the suspectís collision with a tree and parked truck.

According to the investigation to date, Officer
Stennett was trying to physically remove the suspect, identified as Douglas Steven Cloud, 27, of
Riverside, from his wrecked vehicle. Cloud struggled to break away and accelerated the vehicle at
a high rate of rpm, working the steering wheel back and forth in an effort to escape. Fearing the
car would lurch into one of the officers, and because suspect Cloud several times appeared to
reach for something in the vehicle console officers feared might be a weapon, Officers Vasquez
and Johansen fired their duty weapons.

Cloud died at the scene. Subsequent investigation
found no weapon. The investigation continues.
